+# Outwrite
+
+**Standard Python logging and one live status line, across threads and processes.**
+
+Outwrite connects Python's logging module to [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich)
+and relays worker output to one renderer in the parent process. Use your existing
+processes and ordinary loggers. No queue management in application code.
+
+This is an early alpha. APIs may change; it is not production-certified.
+Python 3.11+ is required. Rich is the only runtime dependency.
+
+## Installation
+
+The first release is a prerelease:
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install outwrite==0.1.0a1
+```
+
+Or use `python -m pip install --pre outwrite` to allow the latest prerelease.
+These commands become available once the release is published to PyPI.
+
+To install from a local checkout:
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install .
+```
+
+## One process
+
+```python
+import logging
+from outwrite import setup_output, status
+
+logger = logging.getLogger("my_app")
+
+with setup_output(logger=logger) as output:
+    logger.info("Starting")
+    status.update("Processing files")
+    # Do some work.
+    status.clear()
+    logger.info("Done")
+```
+
+## Worker processes
+
+Pass the connection returned by the parent to each worker. Call the **same**
+setup function inside each worker:
+
+```python
+import logging
+import multiprocessing as mp
+import signal
+from outwrite import setup_output, status
+
+logger = logging.getLogger("my_app")
+
+def work(output, stop):
+    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_IGN)
+    setup_output(output)
+    logger.info("Worker started")
+    for index in range(10):
+        if stop.is_set():
+            break
+        status.update(f"Processing file {index + 1}")
+        stop.wait(0.1)
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    ctx = mp.get_context("spawn")
+    stop = ctx.Event()
+    with setup_output(logger=logger, mp_context=ctx) as output:
+        process = ctx.Process(target=work, args=(output, stop))
+        process.start()
+        try:
+            process.join()
+        finally:
+            stop.set()
+            process.join()
+```
+
+Always join workers and logging threads **inside** the parent context. On exit,
+Outwrite drains queued messages, clears the status, and releases its resources.
+Exit cleanup is also registered as a fallback; it does not stop or join workers
+for you. Forced process termination can lose messages or damage multiprocessing
+queues, so prefer a cooperative worker stop in real applications.
+
+See [the runnable example](https://github.com/ariel-m-s/outwrite/blob/main/examples/multiprocessing_demo.py).
+
+## API
+
+- `setup_output(logger=logger, level=logging.INFO, show_status=True, mp_context=ctx)`
+  starts parent output and returns an `OutputConnection` context handle.
+- `setup_output(output)` connects a worker. The parent's logger name and status
+  setting are carried by the connection; keyword options are for parent setup.
+- `status.update(text)` replaces the status line. `None` or `""` clears it.
+- `status.clear()` clears the line without ending the session.
+
+Status calls are safe from threads. Only one session and one status line are
+active per process; concurrent writers replace the same line. Status calls before
+setup or after parent cleanup raise `RuntimeError`.
+
+The console uses stderr. Status is automatically disabled outside terminals;
+logs still appear. `show_status=False` disables only status, and `level` controls
+only the Rich console handler. Use integer logging levels, such as `logging.DEBUG`.
+
+## Logging behavior
+
+Only the selected **named logger** and its propagating descendants are routed.
+The root logger and unrelated loggers are not configured. Child loggers with
+their own handlers or `propagate=False` retain their normal logging behavior.
+
+Existing handlers on the selected logger also receive records in the parent.
+For example, attach a standard `logging.FileHandler` before setup to retain file
+logging. Outwrite does not close your handlers. It adds a Rich console handler,
+so remove an existing console handler yourself if you do not want duplicate
+console output. The logger's original handlers, level, and propagation are
+restored when the parent context exits.
+
+Records pass through standard `QueueHandler` preparation: exception tracebacks
+become message text. Extra record attributes must be picklable. Cross-process
+delivery is asynchronous; use a cooperative worker shutdown and join workers to
+flush their messages. Ordering between different producers is not guaranteed.
+
+The default queue context is `spawn`. If using `forkserver`, pass that same
+context to setup and use it to create processes. `fork` is deliberately unsupported
+because the parent has an active rendering thread. Do not send a connection to
+an already-running pool; pass it when creating workers or through a pool initializer.
+
+Rendering failures are reported to stderr and raised when the parent context
+exits. Standard logging handlers retain their usual error-reporting behavior.
+No arbitrary stdout/stderr capture is performed.
+
+## Why not just Rich?
+
+Rich already supplies the columns, colors, links, and live display. Outwrite adds
+the connection between existing worker processes, standard logging, and one live
+status line. It is not a new renderer, process pool, or progress-bar framework.
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install -e .
+python examples/multiprocessing_demo.py
+python -m pip install build
+python -m build
+```
+
+No persisted test suite is included in this initial iteration. Add regression
+tests before a production release, particularly for process shutdown and terminal
+cleanup.
+
+The initial wheel was verified on macOS ARM64 with Python 3.13.7 and 3.14.0,
+including spawn/forkserver workers and real-terminal Ctrl+C cleanup. Python
+3.11/3.12 and other operating systems have not yet been runtime-tested.
+
+## License
+

+with its author's permission.
+
+## Publishing
+
+Maintainers use PyPI Trusted Publishing; no permanent upload token is stored in
+GitHub. The GitHub environment `pypi` requires approval before publication.
+
+1. Update the version in `pyproject.toml`, and commit and push the change.
+2. Create a GitHub release with a matching tag, such as `v0.1.0a1`.
+   Mark alpha/beta/RC versions as prereleases.
+3. Review the build job and approve the `pypi` environment deployment.
+4. Verify the uploaded version on PyPI and install it in a fresh environment.
+
+The workflow builds and validates the distributions before publishing. Release
+files cannot be replaced on PyPI; use a new version to correct a release.
+The initial pending publisher must be configured on PyPI for repository
+`ariel-m-s/outwrite`, workflow `publish.yml`, and environment `pypi`.

+# Outwrite
+
+**Standard Python logging and one live status line, across threads and processes.**
+
+Outwrite connects Python's logging module to [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich)
+and relays worker output to one renderer in the parent process. Use your existing
+processes and ordinary loggers. No queue management in application code.
+
+This is an early alpha. APIs may change; it is not production-certified.
+Python 3.11+ is required. Rich is the only runtime dependency.
+
+## Installation
+
+The first release is a prerelease:
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install outwrite==0.1.0a1
+```
+
+Or use `python -m pip install --pre outwrite` to allow the latest prerelease.
+These commands become available once the release is published to PyPI.
+
+To install from a local checkout:
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install .
+```
+
+## One process
+
+```python
+import logging
+from outwrite import setup_output, status
+
+logger = logging.getLogger("my_app")
+
+with setup_output(logger=logger) as output:
+    logger.info("Starting")
+    status.update("Processing files")
+    # Do some work.
+    status.clear()
+    logger.info("Done")
+```
+
+## Worker processes
+
+Pass the connection returned by the parent to each worker. Call the **same**
+setup function inside each worker:
+
+```python
+import logging
+import multiprocessing as mp
+import signal
+from outwrite import setup_output, status
+
+logger = logging.getLogger("my_app")
+
+def work(output, stop):
+    signal.signal(signal.SIGINT, signal.SIG_IGN)
+    setup_output(output)
+    logger.info("Worker started")
+    for index in range(10):
+        if stop.is_set():
+            break
+        status.update(f"Processing file {index + 1}")
+        stop.wait(0.1)
+
+if __name__ == "__main__":
+    ctx = mp.get_context("spawn")
+    stop = ctx.Event()
+    with setup_output(logger=logger, mp_context=ctx) as output:
+        process = ctx.Process(target=work, args=(output, stop))
+        process.start()
+        try:
+            process.join()
+        finally:
+            stop.set()
+            process.join()
+```
+
+Always join workers and logging threads **inside** the parent context. On exit,
+Outwrite drains queued messages, clears the status, and releases its resources.
+Exit cleanup is also registered as a fallback; it does not stop or join workers
+for you. Forced process termination can lose messages or damage multiprocessing
+queues, so prefer a cooperative worker stop in real applications.
+
+See [the runnable example](https://github.com/ariel-m-s/outwrite/blob/main/examples/multiprocessing_demo.py).
+
+## API
+
+- `setup_output(logger=logger, level=logging.INFO, show_status=True, mp_context=ctx)`
+  starts parent output and returns an `OutputConnection` context handle.
+- `setup_output(output)` connects a worker. The parent's logger name and status
+  setting are carried by the connection; keyword options are for parent setup.
+- `status.update(text)` replaces the status line. `None` or `""` clears it.
+- `status.clear()` clears the line without ending the session.
+
+Status calls are safe from threads. Only one session and one status line are
+active per process; concurrent writers replace the same line. Status calls before
+setup or after parent cleanup raise `RuntimeError`.
+
+The console uses stderr. Status is automatically disabled outside terminals;
+logs still appear. `show_status=False` disables only status, and `level` controls
+only the Rich console handler. Use integer logging levels, such as `logging.DEBUG`.
+
+## Logging behavior
+
+Only the selected **named logger** and its propagating descendants are routed.
+The root logger and unrelated loggers are not configured. Child loggers with
+their own handlers or `propagate=False` retain their normal logging behavior.
+
+Existing handlers on the selected logger also receive records in the parent.
+For example, attach a standard `logging.FileHandler` before setup to retain file
+logging. Outwrite does not close your handlers. It adds a Rich console handler,
+so remove an existing console handler yourself if you do not want duplicate
+console output. The logger's original handlers, level, and propagation are
+restored when the parent context exits.
+
+Records pass through standard `QueueHandler` preparation: exception tracebacks
+become message text. Extra record attributes must be picklable. Cross-process
+delivery is asynchronous; use a cooperative worker shutdown and join workers to
+flush their messages. Ordering between different producers is not guaranteed.
+
+The default queue context is `spawn`. If using `forkserver`, pass that same
+context to setup and use it to create processes. `fork` is deliberately unsupported
+because the parent has an active rendering thread. Do not send a connection to
+an already-running pool; pass it when creating workers or through a pool initializer.
+
+Rendering failures are reported to stderr and raised when the parent context
+exits. Standard logging handlers retain their usual error-reporting behavior.
+No arbitrary stdout/stderr capture is performed.
+
+## Why not just Rich?
+
+Rich already supplies the columns, colors, links, and live display. Outwrite adds
+the connection between existing worker processes, standard logging, and one live
+status line. It is not a new renderer, process pool, or progress-bar framework.
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+python -m pip install -e .
+python examples/multiprocessing_demo.py
+python -m pip install build
+python -m build
+```
+
+No persisted test suite is included in this initial iteration. Add regression
+tests before a production release, particularly for process shutdown and terminal
+cleanup.
+
+The initial wheel was verified on macOS ARM64 with Python 3.13.7 and 3.14.0,
+including spawn/forkserver workers and real-terminal Ctrl+C cleanup. Python
+3.11/3.12 and other operating systems have not yet been runtime-tested.
+
+## License
+
+MIT. The initial implementation adapts output coordination developed in Firefly,
+with its author's permission.
+
+## Publishing
+
+Maintainers use PyPI Trusted Publishing; no permanent upload token is stored in
+GitHub. The GitHub environment `pypi` requires approval before publication.
+
+1. Update the version in `pyproject.toml`, and commit and push the change.
+2. Create a GitHub release with a matching tag, such as `v0.1.0a1`.
+   Mark alpha/beta/RC versions as prereleases.
+3. Review the build job and approve the `pypi` environment deployment.
+4. Verify the uploaded version on PyPI and install it in a fresh environment.
+
+The workflow builds and validates the distributions before publishing. Release
+files cannot be replaced on PyPI; use a new version to correct a release.
+The initial pending publisher must be configured on PyPI for repository
+`ariel-m-s/outwrite`, workflow `publish.yml`, and environment `pypi`.
